The recent form makes for interesting reading. After a disappointing ninth, Polka Blue reeled off four consecutive top-four finishes, including two thirds. That kind of consistency from a horse yet to win suggests it is finding its feet and improving race by race, even if the victory column remains blank.
Charles Hills trains out of Lambourn in Berkshire, one of the most respected training centres in Britain, and his yard has been in strong form this season with 31 winners already on the board. That is a busy, confident operation, and having a horse like Polka Blue on the books — fit, racing regularly, and placed just yesterday — suggests the team see potential worth nurturing. When a trainer of that calibre keeps running a horse that has not won, it usually means they believe the win is coming.
